OK all my senior friends, It all starts today! Today only, wear a Ford logo hat or bring a Ford keychain and get $2.00 off gate admission price.

And boy, I can already smell the great food and I'm not even there yet! There is something for everyone!

You can feel the excitement! People are hurrying around, flags and bunting being hung, exhibits built, food vendors moving in, rides setting up, new First Aid Station, and volunteers are busy getting ready for the BIG SHOW!

Hello, my name is George Wallace. I have been on the Board of Directors of the Wilson County Fair for over 10 years now. In that time I have served in many capacities. The latest of these is this blog. This blog will cover many subjects with the main focus being on us senior citizens. Don't stop reading because you are not a senior citizen, you might enjoy some of this content also.

The Wilson County Fair blogs will be a series of blogs by the Wilson County Staff and Web Committee Members.

The bloggers will be based on the Wilson County Fair website - www.WilsonCountyFair.net but the blogs will automatically update our social media accounts - Facebook and Twitter. And once we get these blogs rollings you will be able to log into the Fair website and make a comment to your favorite blogger!

We look forward to seeing you at the 2012 Wilson County Fair (and Online!)
